Forgive me for meddling, but
Are you sure that’s not twelve points? Plus you called the Thome HR, so I think you have 14. I’m going to go back to minding my own business now.

If you say so....I am happy to take the points.
Oh you are right! I changed my on screen answer to # 7 from my draft.

A note about #6:
The PitchFX classification algorithm has mostly figured Wuertz’s slider out by now (mostly…), but it still hiccups a bit, calling some of the hanged sliders as changeups. Here:
http://www.fangraphs.com/fgraphs/1856_P_3_fs2011_201107280_game_big.png
See the yellow dots? It thinks those are changeups, but Wuertz doesn’t have one. They’re just misclassified sliders, which are the red dots. So I propose that we expand the definition of a slider in question #6 to any pitch labeled as a slider or changeup, since they’re the same pitch, just split up.
By my count, then, Friday's (horrendous) slider numbers are:
20 Sliders Thrown / 2 Swings and Miss.
(1 Mistakenly Called a Change, included in the 20)
"Lako je tuđim kurcem po koprivama mlatiti / It’s easy to beat on the nettles with someone else’s dick." - elcroata
I'm inclined to give both answers the ok
So the formal count and the count+changeups would both win. And if someone whiffed on a hanger then that too.
"There's never enough time to do all the nothing you want" -Bill Watterson
19 or 20 then, no matter since nobody called it! The 2 Swinging Strikes were both on sliders.

What was the lapse, Athletix Man? Guessing splitz on the series outcome?

I always fill it out quick on my phone while at work and what not.
Said to myself. 3-1 or 2-2 for the series. I felt 3-1 but said since its a road series they won’t do as well and put 2-2. Of course then the series starts and I realize the series was in Oakland, ever since the first game was kicking myself cause felt they would take 3 of 4 then.

Not a big deal - not a score change - but I did write Pavano's WPA wrong here; it should be -.568.
(I had left Blackburn’s number up, which was indeed -.429).
